It made me ponder how many changes we see in our lifetime and the impact they can have on how we live in our homes. The “spare” room often becomes a topic of quandary . . . what to do with it while keeping it a place for a soft landing, for whoever returns to the sanctuary called ‘home’.

We decided to turn one post into a series and I hope you’ll tune in as I share many real experiences and challenges. Along with the solutions I’ve provided to my clients to help them navigate this ever-changing path called “life”, you may decide to share a few pointers of your own!

A sneak preview of things to come . . .

When purchasing furniture, think outside of the box. In this case, I would use the Pagoda Buffet and Hutch, from Hooker Furniture, as a transition piece from childhood to adulthood. A great doll display cabinet, with storage below, would later hold sports trophies or books/collections. As a young adult, it would go into their first home to grace a dining area or become focal point in a loft without a fireplace. Choose classics and you’ll never be wrong!

I hope you’ll join me as I share the journey!
